It has been brought to my notice that the matter has already been compromised and a copy of compromise deed has already been placed on record as Annexure-P.3. Learned counsel for the petitioner also argued that a petition has already been filed in this Court for quashing of above said FIR on the basis of compromise.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find merit in this petition and the same is allowed. The interim order dated 24.12.2015 passed by this Court granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute. However, the petitioner shall join the investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by the conditions of Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. February 4, 2016.
